Very clean room. I liked the convenience of the location. The air conditioner thermostat was a little confusing. The room passed my “no smell” test which I loved. Nice pool and hot tub. The breakfast is rolls, bagels, muffins and cereals. Some fresh fruit too.

Breakfast was just so-so. Would like some protein options such as yogurt or eggs. Shower was very very slow heating up. Shower body soap container seemed to be empty. Otherwise, room was comfortable and clean.

I will stay there again.

Great location, they had a room with the ice machine washer dryers a freezer to store your fish and outside of that room they had a fish cleaning counter with s sink and granite. Nice pool and hot tub and just a nice place for a family to go. I thought the price was reasonable for Bishop. The location was great. Next time we go to Bishop, we will stay there for sure.

We stayed here for one day during our camping trip. We couldn’t be happier about our decision. This is a motel type of property but it’s way better than the typical motel. It’s very clean; the beds are comfortable, bathroom clean; shower has good water pressure; laundry facilities are good; even the breakfast is fine (some reviews are critical about the breakfast, but to us, bagels, French toast, cereal, yogurt, and serviceable coffee is very acceptable); staff are very friendly (the whole Bishop is a friendly town)

Overall, the room was good for the price. There were maintenance issues though. -The air conditioner is very loud and was barely able to keep up by running constantly. This is a waste of electricity over a newer, more efficient unit. -The sink faucet was backwards. Hot was on the right and cold was on the left. -When showering, most of the water came out of the spigot, not the shower head.

Perfect for exploring surrounding area. Long distance driving to see the extraordinary sights all day, so I appreciated a Vons around the corner and okay dinning options that were walkable.

The front desk staff is shockingly rude and unwelcoming, as if guests are an inconvenience. The outrageous price they charge for these run-down rooms should be illegal. The place reeks of stale odor, and the refrigerator and air conditioner roar so loud you’ll wish you slept in your car.

Everything about the room and the hotel is just fine (well, the pool needs to be redone before next season). Staff members were all friendly and helpful.
